Chapter 1855 - 333:

Based on the current factual outcome, the Heavenly Dao's early intervention and control over me is indeed very foresighted, just as the saying goes:

Heaven sees all.

Li Zhiyuan looked toward the fish pond ahead and asked:

"Can the fish pond still be expanded?"

The Body: "It seems you've made up your mind?"

Li Zhiyuan: "I did have a bit of wishful thinking before, but this wish wasn't hoping that if I performed well, the Heavenly Dao would be merciful and spare me."

The Body: "When you pursue emotions and try to become a normal 'person', in my eyes, you have already begun to decline."

Li Zhiyuan: "Without my insistence on healing and decisively cutting ties with you, adhering to the Dragon King's Court doctrine along the Jianghu, do you think… we could have survived until now?"

The Body: "Indeed."

This is also why The Body has never formally initiated a battle to seize Li Zhiyuan's body.

The Body knows clearly that if he were to assume Li Zhiyuan's identity now, what would await him is a rapid deterioration of circumstances.

The Body is not yet prepared for this, or rather, Li Zhiyuan has not grown to that level.

Both "people" are very intelligent and composed.

Neither of them would engage in futile, meaningless emotional outbursts.

This has created the bizarre scene where the Heart Demon and The Body co-exist harmoniously and can even join forces to fend off enemies.

True Monarch Pu Du once lost to this incredible cooperation.

This kind of situation is unheard of in the Jianghu.

Because,

If a Heart Demon and The Body can maintain absolute restraint and composure, how could a Heart Demon even come into being?

Li Zhiyuan: "How much can this fish pond be expanded?"

The Body pointed around and replied:

"The small river here, the farmland here, including Li Sanjiang's house, can all be filled and inundated, becoming part of the fish pond.

On the ground, there are no area restrictions, and above, there are no height restrictions.

It all depends on the strength of your spiritual awareness."

Li Zhiyuan: "Did you set up this place so sloppily because you already knew it would eventually be submerged as a fish pond, so you were lazy and didn't bother to tidy and decorate it?"

The Body: "I told you, it was your idea to lead the fish from the pond to the heavens, to take them outside for use.

That day, when you successfully reversed the Secret Technique of the Black Skin Book, I stood here and watched a large group of fish flying in the sky.

It was then that I thought of this possibility, and the future development prospects of this fish pond.

Only slightly earlier than you.

Moreover, it wasn't really that early; when you saw Wei Zhengdao's suppression technique, didn't you instantly deduce the fish pond?

So, essentially, we knew at the same time.

It's just that I thought more clearly, whereas you might have overlooked or resisted thinking in this direction, but subconsciously, the answer was already prepared."

Li Zhiyuan didn't deny it.

The Body: "It's still because your spiritual awareness isn't strong enough for me to squander freely, and I can't draw too much, affecting your state in reality, so everything must be kept simple.

If I could be extravagant, even knowing this place would become a fish pond, I wouldn't mind making it more exquisite where I 'live and reside.'

Not only should the houses be well-built, but I would also arrange villagers here, pigs in the pens, frogs by the river, and cicadas in the trees.

Unfortunately, I fear that if I did so, you would have severe nosebleeds in reality, prolonging blindness, and be even more terrified that your Heart Demon would immediately rush here to stop me and settle accounts with me."

Li Zhiyuan: "It must have been tough for you."

The Body: "As it should be."

Li Zhiyuan: "But if my spiritual awareness were strong enough, allowing you indulgence, the vision you just described could come true here… What does it seem like to you?"

This time, The Body remained silent.

Li Zhiyuan pointed to the fish seedlings in the pond and said: "I'll look for feed outside to regrow and fatten these fish. You'll be responsible for improving fish breeds and the design of the next stage of the fish pond."

The Body: "Seems like my job is heavier."

Li Zhiyuan: "You are The Body; you should work more."

The Body: "Okay, Heart Demon."

Li Zhiyuan: "Anything else you need to say?"

The Body: "Even if I don't say the nonsense, you surely understand."

Li Zhiyuan: "Still, let's go through the necessary formalities."

The Body: "You want to use open methods to conceal?"

Li Zhiyuan: "I'm not yet capable of obscuring Heavenly Dao's vision like the Great Emperor and Bodhisattva; moreover, such beings make it difficult to know whether they truly succeeded in concealing or if Heavenly Dao simply looked the other way.

Therefore, since absolute secrecy is unattainable, it's better to proceed openly.

Generously seek opportunities to gather feed, generously use my newly created secret skill, generously let Heavenly Dao witness my progress.

Due to Wei Zhengdao, Heavenly Dao should have experience.

The unknown is what's most terrifying.

Letting it see progress, it can feel assured.

It will set the time to break this knife of mine, but before that time arrives, we are safe, composed, and may even receive preferential treatment."

The Body: "Then my work will be heavier."

Li Zhiyuan looked at The Body.

The Body: "Okay, I know, I am The Body."

The Body stretched out his hand, drawing a small frame in front of him: "I will open a separate small pool inside the current fish pond, using the fish pond's population to manage the small pool, experimenting with cultivation, breeding, array techniques, Feng Shui, and other methods."
